Multivariate analysis with respect to overall survival (OS) in gastric cancer
| Parameter | Hazard Ratio | p-value |
|---|---|---|
| β-catenin intensity | ||
| Normal | 0.706 | 0.017 |
| Weak | 1.000 | |
| Gender | ||
| Female | 0.745 | 0.048 |
| Male | 1.000 | |
| Tumor Depth | ||
| Early cancer (T1) | 1.000 | 0.013 |
| Advanced cancer (T2-T4) | 1.612 | |
| Lymphovascular Invasion | ||
| Negative | 1.000 | 0.006 |
| Positive | 1.617 | |
| Distal Metastasis | ||
| Negative | 1.000 | 0.046 |
| Positive | 1.468 |
β-catenin intensity is an independent prognostic factor for these patients.
